Right, and thanks for mentioning it.

But I'd rather avoid this new restriction in general, as internet
tests are per se unreliable (as they depend on "something else", like
a server being up etc.), and in a specific file we would need to
create a separate d/t/control and then update it whenever autodep8
changes.
